The Herd includes several players with NBA experience, including Gary Payton II and Joel Bolomboy who are signed to "two-way" contracts, which means they are on the Bucks' roster for up to 45 days.
The Herd also includes former Wisconsin Badgers standout, forward Vitto Brown.
Friday's game against the Windy City Bulls was to have been the Herd's home opener in the new $21 million Menominee Nation Arena in Oshkosh. Construction delays forced the team to move the game to Milwaukee.
About 375 Herd fans from Oshkosh will come by bus to the game, said Herd spokeswoman Mallory Steinberg. The team also provided 600 tickets to its Menominee Nation partner and about 2,250 to nonprofits, she said.

The Herd plan to have its home opener in Oshkosh on Friday, Dec. 1.
Tickets for Friday's 7 p.m. game are available online at WisconsinHerd.com. Fans who download tickets for the game will be entered to win two lower-level tickets to a Milwaukee Bucks game in December.
